Disha Patani Called 'Ugly' in School Pic: We are Disgusted With the Media House But Disappointed by Disha's Reply

Disha Patani, a demure face may not be seen in too many Bollywood movies yet but she has garnered enough fan-following over the years. She was seen in a music video opposite Tiger Shroff and she is most remembered for her role in MS Dhoni. The actress is charming, no doubts but when a news website went ahead and dug out her old school picture and tagged it ugly, it highlighted the shallow reportage that exists today. But we now have a question for the actress, "Dear Disha, can you please decide if you are ugly or pretty in a gown?"

Finding out old pictures of stars is not new, these kinds of things always interest the keen fans of celebrities. But a particular site called her looking ugly in her school days picture. Finding it in utter distaste, we supported Disha and wrote against such reporting. But now Disha herself has retorted to the portal with a scathing reply on Twitter.

However, by giving it an importance to reply, isn’t the actress, in turn, encouraging such ideas? Although she says she should’ve worn a gown in her school days, in one of the interviews she speaks about being ugly. When we hear of the actress herself accepting it, then it doesn’t seem wrong of the reporter to having used the same description for her picture.

Disha Patani in a Video Interview "People used to find me ugly"

While we called out against the publication for such journalism, Disha did not seem to mind it until she saw that particular report. Another article by GQ Magazine which talks about ‘Things no one told you about Disha Patani,’ also highlights that Disha was an ugly and awkward kid. Now when that seems to be out in the public domain, doesn’t it look odd, rather more hypocritical of the actress to now taunting them in their tweet. In a profession like yours, you are bound to be judged even if you do too much make-up. But the best resort would have been to ignore them and stay calm. With you responding to their ugly comment, even after you accepting that you were ugly, will only encourage more such reports to be written in future, more comparisons to be drawn. This will be in not just your case but several others. When all the celebrities want to be talked about for their work than these trivial matters, they should also remember how one has to deal with such reports. In this case, Ignorance would be Bliss!
